CLEVELAND UNMASKED.

The order issued by President
Cleveland to restore the battle flags
of the Confederacy captured by
Union soldiers in the war, more
completely unmasks President
Cleveland than any prior act. 1t
was fitting sequel to his vetoes of
pension bills, and shows where his
heart really lies.
He carefully avoided abiding to
the "confederacy," but speaks OF
the rebel forces as State volun-
teers," when he ought to know per-
fectly well that at the time those
flags were captured there were no
States" upholding the flag of trea-
son; they had forfeited all claims
to be called States.
It is not strange that the Grand
Army of the Republic, composed
of men who had sacrificed blood,
limbs and robust constitutions in
capturing those flags, should have
made loud protest against such an
act on the part of the Chief Execu-
tive. They recognized it as bid
for Southern popularity and moth
ing else, and in making such bid
he surrendered the respect of every
loyal citizen of the North.
Worse still was his eowardly re-
treat from his position next day
when he saw he had shown his
hand too broadly. He rescinded the
order and showed that his boasted
backbone was gone.
When he made the order he lost
the respect of the North, and when
he rescinded it he maddened the
South. He has completely fallen
between two stools.
There is also another indivld
ual who has also received
his quietus in this same affair
When the army officers were pro
testing against Cleveland's first out
rageous order Sherman was called
on to speak. He dare not express
himself either way on the subject
and asked to be excused. He is ;
man who likes to carry water OF
beth shoulders and avoid the chanc,
of spllling any.

Good News for the FrankeI Cred
tiers.

We understand from a pretty
fair and pretty direct source that
the Frankels will soon make an eff
fort to settle with their creditors.
The basis of settlement, according
to our best information. will be in
the neighborhood of twenty FIVE
cents on the dollar. This percentage
will bring into the pockets of Storey
county creditors alone about $780,
QUO, which sum, we believe, Is far
in excess of the sum actually paid
to the Frankels for the purchase of
stock.
At various times during the pro-
gress of the criminal cases against
Sol. Frankel rumors were rife that
the creditors committee were offer
ing fairer terms of settlement than
the above even. If the Frankels,
in the full knowledge of their con-
dition on the second of December
last, had represented to their cred
itors their exact financial standing,
there is hardly question now In
the minds of our people but that
they would have effected settle.
ment upon basis that would have
carried with it good feeling and
they would have been enabled tc
continue business in this commun
ity. Their paper here would nov
be worth nearly Its face. The
stock market would have beer
maintained better and Storey
county would have been, 100000.
$50 richer. Report.
